The next day Sakura woke up feeling tired and sad. She was feeling heavy hearted. Sakura was so sick of her everyday life. She wanted something new, something which would make her life more interesting and worth living for.

She glanced at her clock; it was already half past seven. She quickly put on her school uniform and applied some eyeliner. She rushed out of her house so that she would not have to face her mother and her lectures.

Sakura was heading to school; she could see other students with their parents dropping them off to school.

Waves of sadness washed over her as she got a flashback of her father seeing her off to school and how they used to be a happy family before that tragic incident happened. She really missed her father.

Sakura suddenly found herself in the middle of her school compound… She was so lost in her thoughts that she had forgotten everything around her. The young girl could hardly breath. She had this feeling of sadness trapping her heart in darkness, She's been struggling for so long and coping with this sadness, loneliness… On hearing the bell ringing, she placed her hand upon her cheek and wiped her tears. She looked up at the sky and reminded herself of that strong girl which have been hiding all her emotions and pain… Just to hide that scared little girl… Afraid to get close and tired to feel.

Sakura then composed herself and rushed to her art class. As soon as she entered, her classmates shouted," Here comes the emo freak!"

Sakura bowed her head and acted like she didn't hear anything and went to her seat at the back of the class. She was fighting with her tears, suppressing her feelings and stayed silent.

When Mr. Kakashi, their arts teacher, came in, Sakura got nervous, as her mother had torn her homework. Needless to say that Mr. kakashi scolded her and gave her two hours of detention to complete her work.

Sakura could hear mocking laughs of her classmates..

At 2:30 Sakura watched everyone going home through the window when suddenly she heard the angry voice of her teacher, "Do you want another hour of detention my dear?"

"Sorry sir."

Sakura took out her sketchpad and stared at her blank paper before glancing outside again. She was out of inspiration…

She started making a rough on her paper. It was a drawing of a girl standing in front of a broken mirror smiling but appeared to be crying in the reflection.

Suddenly Sakura was startled by her teacher's voice.

"Wonderful work Sakura! Seems like you've done a lot of progress. You can submit it tomorrow, you may go home now."

Sakura smiled and thanked Kakashi. She packed her stuff and left.

On her way home, Sakura went to a small dense forest named Black hills where she used to go each time she felt down. In the middle of the forest was a beautiful, clear lake surrounded by big cherry trees. It was a lonely, quiet and peaceful place. Her father used to bring her there to play when she was a little girl; they used to spend most of their time near the lake. It has been Sakura's favourite place ever since.

Nowadays nobody ever goes there, as strange things had been happening there. Big animals were found bloodily killed and even some people who went there had disappeared mysteriously. But Sakura wasn't scared, as she didn't have anything to lose.

On arriving there, she went to her usual place, which is under a large cherry tree. She sat there, lost in her thoughts. She thought about her mother and her classmates. Her mom had suggested taking Sakura to a psychiatrist and her classmates always made fun of her, calling her a freak.

"I've had enough! I just wish someone would understand me..", whispered Sakura, with tears sliding down her cheeks.

On the other side of the lake behind the trees, stood a tall dark figure with red piercing eyes watching Sakura's every move carefully.

"This might turn out to be interesting..", he said with a smirk. He then retreated into the shadows, with an evil smile on his face.
